Board of Directors
The LOTT Alliance is governed by a Board of Directors. Four elected officials – one from each of the partner governments – are appointed to represent their jurisdictions on the Board. The Board provides oversight for planning, construction, and financing of LOTT programs and joint facilities and plans for future facilities. Representatives to the LOTT Board are selected by each of the four partner jurisdictions at the beginning of each year.
The Board of Directors employs an Executive Director and approximately 60 staff members to manage the LOTT organization, its programs, and capital projects. In addition to LOTT's Executive Director, senior staff members include the Chief Administrative Officer and General Counsel, Community and Environmental Policy Director, Engineering Director, and Facilities Director.
 Board Work Sessions and Business meetings are held on the second Wednesday of each month, and additional Work Sessions are held on the fourth Wednesday as needed. Agenda packets for all Board meetings are posted on this website prior to each meeting, and remain posted for twelve months. Business meeting packets include the agenda, minutes of the previous meetings, current financial data, and staff reports for all the main agenda items, including applicable attachments.
